Mommy Makeover w/ Dr. Kagan @ Jolie Plastic Surgery in Miami, FL

I am a (late) 20-something mother of 1 who’s having a mommy makeover today at Jolie Plastic Surgery with Dr. Kagan. I had my pre-op appt yesterday to meet him and go over the specs of the sx. He explained how my scars would look and what to look forward to as far as pain/healing. It was a quick meet but I’m ok with that. He was nice and answered all my ??’s plus he accommodated me by allowing me to get my scripts before (they generally give you your rx post op for whatever reason) I’m scheduled for a mommy makeover (TT, BL, BA w/ saline implants, and 2 areas of lipo on upper and lower abdomen) TODAY! I will keep yall posted! Here are my pre-op pix...

Do yall consider the day you come out of sx day 1?? Lol I’m obvi new to this.. Anywho, here’s a description of sx day from beginning to end:
When I arrived at Jolie I took a drug test, took more before pix (I had taken some for my pre-op appt, which are the ones I posted yesterday), Kagan came in and marked me up, and the anesthetist started an IV of just fluid in my hand. All-in-all it was about 2 hours before I was ready for sx. Surgery in itself was maybe 4 hours or so, I’m actually not sure. I just know I was in the clinic 6/7 hours or so.
Once I made it to the OR, I laid on the table, they put some kind of leg contraption-thingy on that continuously inflated and deflated to help with circulation, they put an oxygen mask on, started my anesthesia through my hand IV and then I was OUT!
I woke up in the recovery room shaking from the freezing air, the staff put a large hose under my sheets to warm me up, then immediately had me get up and transferred me to a w/c and pushed me out to my driver’s TRUCK! Yes I had to climb into a truck after having a TT! Ugh!!! The transfer from recovery at Jolie to the recovery house where I stayed was soo uncomfortable and for the first 4/5 hours laying on the recliner at the house was painful as crap but once the anesthesia wore off some, I was able to get some relief from the pain medication and feel more comfortable.
Once I had a good sleep I woke up and took this pic of my breast the same day of my sx. I was afraid to take my TT binder off so waited until my post op appt the day after my sx to get pix of my new tummy. Here’s those pics...

When I first started this review I did so pre-op so I didn’t give Kagan any score. Now that I have had my sx I was gonna give 4 stars but RealSelf won’t let me update it! ????
I give 4 instead of 5 stars b/c of my experience as a whole not just w/ the doctor. If you want to have a procedure and get babied and taken good care of afterwards, Jolie ain’t for you. If you are a bit antisocial and want to only be able to get in touch with staff and be seen when you feel like you require it, I would say call Jolie. It has its place for whom it may work for. Unfortunately, I had other thoughts on how my stay would go here in Miami but by God’s grace I was able to still see the positive by seeing my own strength in taking care of myself for the most part (my sister helped too).
As far as the doctors work, I’m staying optimistic that my results will get better with time and once swelling goes down but you can be the judge. If nothing else I’m glad Kagan was able to take me from 2 guts to having just one. Here’s my day 4 (if you don’t count sx day as day 1) post op pix...
